Water main burst in New Westminster causes traffic chaos, SkyTrain delays

A water main break in New Westminster created all kinds of havoc Saturday.

It started shortly before 2 in the afternoon.

Global News producer Miguel Ramos says firefighters at the scene were concerned the area could be closed for days, as the damage to the pavement has been done.

“They later said the main concern was actually the pavement right underneath where the geyser was hitting and it was hitting so powerfully they said it might be so weakened the area might be closed to traffic for days.”
